Ant-Man: From another angle, the world is more beautiful

It is said that because the first generation of Ant-Man had some bad behavior, the film chose to directly present the story of the second-generation Ant-Man. Although Scott Lang has stunts, he basically still belongs to the category of small people. The film also follows the Hollywood routine of superheroes saving the world. The rhythm of the whole article is relaxed and relaxed, and the soothing family and love elements are inserted into the tense chase and fight. There are both good and evil collisions, as well as funny elements, which are blended into a cup of frothy Viennese coffee, which caters to the various tastes of the audience. Although it is a grand issue of defending the world, the giggling little people and the cute little ants have all diluted a bit of seriousness, and it is not impossible to watch the movie with popcorn.

The villain, Darren Krause, is a genius scientist in the film, but he is always full of the grievances of being neglected and unwilling by the teacher. When he asked the teacher "why don't you want me anymore", he was pitiful. Although he has wolf ambitions to rule the world, he is not a wicked person, and he is also affectionate and righteous to Hope Van Dyne, the daughter of a generation of Ant-Man Hank Pym.

The family line between Hope and his father runs through the whole process. From the incomprehension and mutual resentment at the beginning, to the final reconciliation, it seems real and touching in a sci-fi movie, especially when Hank Pym finally explained to his daughter. Knowing the cause of his mother's death, Hope also achieved a sensational effect when he choked with tears in his eyes. The affectionate relationship between the protagonist Scott Lang and his daughter is the clearest line. Therefore, he understands Hank Pym's good intentions for Hope better, and reconciles the contradiction between the father and daughter.

After the body shrinks, looking at the world from a different perspective is undoubtedly a very interesting theme, just like Alice's Adventures or Spirited Away, creating a model based on real life, but different from the previous, magical. It is a wonderful experience to have a world for the imagination to run wild. There are three elements of laughter, tears, evil, and beauty. With sophisticated 3D technology, it is still very shocking, especially when the mighty ant army is attacking, and the viewing experience is generally good.

In terms of the comic transformation of Marvel style, some people think it is very successful, and some people think that "the joke is not funny, and the horror is not in place". Personally, I feel that the addition of comedy elements is still very successful, especially the three friends who partner with Scott Lang, and their gag skills are almost against the sky. But there is no sense of horror, but people with intensive phobia are afraid that it will be a bit shadowy. Looking forward to the Hope sequel.

Ant-Man quotes

  • Scott Lang: Sir, I'm sorry I stole the suit. I don't even wanna know why you have it.

    Hank Pym: Maggie was right about you.

    Scott Lang: How do you know about...

    Hank Pym: No wonder she's trying to keep you away from Cassie. The moment things get hard, you turn right back to crime. The way I see it, you have a choice. You can either spend the rest of your life in prison, or go back to your cell and await further instructions.

    Scott Lang: I don't understand.

    Hank Pym: No, I don't expect you to. But you don't have many options right now, and quite frankly, neither do I. Why do you think I let you steal that suit in the first place?

    Scott Lang: What?

    [flashback showing Hank setting things in motion]

    Hank Pym: Second chances don't come around all that much. So next time you think you might see one, I suggest you take a real close look at it.

  • Scott Lang: [after his boss learns about his criminal record] Dale, look, it wasn't a violent crime. I mean, I'm a good worker.

    Dale: No, it wasn't a violent crime. It was a cool crime. I'll tell you what, though. This will be totally off the books, off the records, but, uh, if you want to grab one of those, uh, Mango Fruit Blasts on your way out the door, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
